In the sky shrouded by purple-black, Jibril, scythe in hand, looked excitedly at Zelretch. Currently, Jibril was a bit disheveled, but she hadn't sustained any major damage.
In contrast, Zelretch's face was pale, a trace of blood leaked from the corner of his mouth, his clothes were torn in a large area, and there was a massive wound on his chest. The wound was repairing itself quickly, but a wisp of black mist on the injury kept hindering the recovery, causing it to heal very slowly.
How on earth did this person come to this world! Zelretch was already cursing in his heart. Jibril was too strong; most of his magic couldn't even scratch her, while he had to face every one of her strikes with everything he had.
"The fact that you've fought me this long has already proven your strength, monkey." Jibril looked at Zelretch and raised her right hand high above her head. A massive magic circle appeared, and terrifying power gathered within it.
"This is completely comparable to that fellow Crimson Moon's Moon Fall! No! It's even stronger!" Zelretch looked at the magic circle solemnly. He couldn't possibly block this move; the consequence of taking it head-on would undoubtedly be death! Even if he had powerful regenerative abilities as a Dead Apostle, Zelretch believed that under this strike of Jibril's, he wouldn't even have ashes left.
Zelretch took a deep breath, his expression determined. The jewel sword in his hand emitted a glow as it began to draw magical energy from parallel worlds.
The jewel sword was the strongest Mystic Code held by Zelretch, the pinnacle of Mystic Codes with the Second Magic as its limited function. It could share and use the Great Source magical energy from infinite parallel worlds.
It could gather the magical energy of parallel worlds into the jewel sword and fire a high-powered light cannon.
"Let me handle it." A voice suddenly rang out, causing Zelretch's expression to shift slightly, while Jibril immediately dispersed the magic circle above her head and turned back with a look of joy.
"Master, have you recovered!"
After seeing her master's appearance clearly, Jibril couldn't help but be stunned. Her original little girl master had actually turned into a young woman, wearing purple-black clothing somewhat similar to a kimono. Her original short purple hair had turned into waist-length purple-black hair, and her black eyes were now Mystic Eyes where red, green, and purple-black intertwined. Her gaze was icy and devoid of emotion, and her body was surrounded by terrifying purple-black energy. Just by looking at Fujino Asagami, Jibril felt as if she were shrouded in darkness, though she quickly returned to normal. Even though that feeling vanished, Jibril was still a bit shaken, but she soon looked at Fujino Asagami with burning eyes: "Master, how do you feel now?"
"Very good." Fujino Asagami clenched her fist. After obtaining the Transcendence Evil Power, although the process was painful, the pain was well worth enduring. The vast dark magical energy of the Transcendence Evil Power had directly performed a qualitative strengthening of her body. The massive dark magical energy allowed her to leap from a child's form directly to her most perfect form. Even the The Demon Eye of Distortion were influenced by the Transcendence Evil Power, undergoing some changes; their power became even greater and transformed into a permanent mode, similar to a passive skill in a game. Fujino Asagami's eyes had now completely become the The Demon Eye of Distortion, remaining in a constantly active state.
"Let me test this power. Leave that old man to me," Fujino Asagami said, her body moving past Jibril to look at Zelretch in the air opposite them.
"The second magus, I really didn't expect you to appear here." Fujino Asagami looked at Zelretch, then at the jewel sword in his hand, and spoke: "Make your move, let me see your current power."
"Is Your Excellency a person of this world?" Zelretch asked, his eyes full of confusion. Why would someone from this world possess such powerful energy? That kind of power was definitely not something this world could have. Zelretch could feel that the strength of that purple-black energy was completely beyond what this world could contain; or rather, that power completely exceeded the upper limits of this world.
"Fight me." She raised her right hand above her head. The purple-black energy that had shrouded a large part of the desert was drawn toward her, converging into her hand to form a massive purple-black energy sphere.
Zelretch's expression changed, and his already pale face looked even whiter. Damn it! Why start fighting without a word!
Fujino Asagami looked at Zelretch and said calmly: "Try to block this, second magus."
The massive energy sphere was thrown out by Fujino Asagami without hesitation. A piercing sound rang out as space wailed. Wherever the energy sphere passed, fine cracks appeared in space; its power was such that even space could hardly withstand it.
"Holy crap!" Zelretch looked at the incoming massive energy sphere, his face as ugly as could be. This thing was simply not something he could block.
"Let's go." On the other side, as Fujino Asagami threw the energy sphere, her expression changed slightly, and she hurriedly grabbed Jibril's hand.
Although Jibril didn't understand what was happening, seeing Fujino Asagami's urgent expression, she quickly activated her Heavenly Movement ability, taking Fujino Asagami and vanishing from the spot.
At the place where Fujino Asagami had originally accepted the Transcendence Evil Power, a spatial rift had not yet closed. A streak of Ethereal Blue light flashed from within the rift, attempting to cross through and enter this world.
But in the next moment, countless golden runes emitting a profound aura suddenly appeared, directly and tightly binding the entire spatial rift.
"Freeze!" An ancient voice came from nowhere, and time itself froze under this ancient sound. The distant purple-black energy sphere vanished, turning into a stream of light that merged with the golden runes. The golden runes instantly exploded with dazzling light, tightly binding the bit of Ethereal Blue that had peeked out from the spatial rift, forming a golden sphere.
The surface of the golden sphere flashed with light incessantly. After a good while, the light gradually calmed down. The golden sphere floated in the air, rotated a few times, and then headed in a certain direction.
As the sphere left, time resumed its flow.
Zelretch looked at the empty scene before him with a stunned expression. Where was the sphere?! Where did such a huge sphere go!?
